- Note
- This style of shoe with the long curled tip, called nokh, is worn by men. Women's shoes are similar, but do not have the nokh. Shoes that have the decorative metallic embroidery, such as these, are typically worn for special occasions, like weddings. There is no left or right designation to these shoes. Because they are made out of leather, they are expected to conform to the feet of the wearer over time. These shoes are popular in Northern India and Pakistan.
